I do not own any star trek characters, if I did we would all be in Hawaii
with cabana boys as servants. ::drools:: I also do not own Goo Goo Dolls
song Iris or Elvis's Devil in Disguise. Amanda is the creation of the
original writer and myself, I've just been asking to finish her story. Hope
you all enjoy, and I hope I did it justice. AND DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW! Or
a curse I will inflict on your house!
Amanda and Wesley have just been sent to their rooms following that horrid food fight in 10 Forward. Wesley of course, being Wesley, has snuck out of his room and is now playing The Game Of Life in the middle of the living room with Amanda. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tap, tap, tap. "Ha!" cried Wesley as he pulled ahead of his sister on the game route. "Aww damn, it says, 'House destroyed by flood, pay $200 unless insured"
"HAHA!" Laughed Amanda. "You idiot, I TOLD you to buy insurance!"
"Shut up. I'll get the money back, eventually."
Still sniggering Amanda spun the dial. "7, SAWEET!" Moving ahead of her brother yet again she landed on a blank rectangle and waited for Wesley to go. "I have a SERIOUS Ben and Jerry's jones."
"Then go get some?" Wesley stated moving his piece.
"Hmmm, how to get to 10 Forward without being spotted..."
"Go through the Jeffries tubes, the jump down right outside the doors."
"That's why I love you Weswey," she said pinching his cheek, "You have the best ideas!"
"Let go you psycho!" He yelled and pulled away.
"I'll be back big bro, DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!"
"Yeah, yeah."
Amanda snuck out into the hallway and jumped up pulling down the ladder to the Jeffries tubes and climbed up. "I thought that I was in heaven, but I was sure surprised, heaven help me I didn't see the devil in your eye!" She quietly sang to herself as she crawled through the tubes to the next ladder up. She was currently on deck 8. Two more decks and she could start heading towards the front of the saucer section where 10 Foward was located.
"And I don't want the world to see me, cause I don't think that they'd understand, when everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am...Ah ok, here's the next ladder!" Climbing straight up to Deck Ten, she reached it 5 minutes later already breathing heavy. "AHAHA! And I've conquered the mighty Jeffries tube ladder!" Another 10 minutes of crawling towards the front of the ship landed her at a hatch below her and below that the floor in front of 10 Forwards Doors.
"HA! Success! Weswey IS good for something after all!" To herself she muttered, "Besides a door mat for Worf of course." Strolling up to the double doors they immediately opened to reveal her mother and father sitting at a table enjoying a light meal and light conversation.
"EEP!" She cried and lunged behind the bar landing with an "OOMPH!" at Guinan's feet.
"Well hello there," Guinan said looking down. "It's a bit early in the season for flying squirrels isn't it?"
"Heh, just came for the Ben and Jerry's Guinan, WHERE IS IT?" she grabbed the older woman's gown and tugged.
"No need to get testy it's in the fridge under the bar. Just," suppressing the urge to laugh, "drag yourself over."
"Thank you! Hey how's the weather up there anyway? OUCH! THAT HURT! GUINAN WHY ARE YOU..." A distinct male voice interrupted her yelling.
"Guinan, how are you?"
"Just fine Captain. What would you like?"
"An Angorian Ale, and White Wine for Dr. Crusher. Guinan."
"Yes Captain?" She said, fixing the drinks he had requested.
"Were you....talking to somebody...before I came over?"
"Just to my friends here." She stated, matter of factly, holding up a bottle.
"Yes, well, carry on." He said, giving her an odd look and walking away with the drinks.
"NOW I get why you were kicking me! Hehehe. ICE CREAM TIME!" Amanda exclaimed and crawled over to the fridge wrenching it open and taking out her favorite kind, Caramel Chew Chew. "Heaven is an ice cream company, and I'm the head tester!" Stealing a spoon she opened the cover and dove in.
"Are you gonna stay there all night?" Asked Guinan with an amused look on her face.
"No, just until my parents leave."
"Ah, well there they go now." She waved, and continued to wipe the bar with a cloth.
"Really? They just left?"
"Yup."
Amanda jumped up and looked around and came face to face with Data.
"AHHHH! Data you scared the living crap out of me!" She breathed and hid in front of the android looking to see if anyone had heard her. No one had.
"I am sorry Amanda, I was only going to ask Guinan for a drink. I did not mean to startle you. Why were you down on the floor?"
"Just...taking in the scenery." She stammered out and ducked behind the bar again before data could ask her any more questions. Which it looked like he would have for he had his right hand up, his index finger pointed up and his mouth open in classic Data questioning pose.
Glad to be rid of the android, Amanda, clutching her Ben and Jerry's, crept to the end of the bar still hunched over. At the end she peeked her head around and saw that her parents were heading out the opposite door, breathing a sigh of relief she raced out the other doors and around the corner. Stopping only to have another spoonful of heaven. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back at her room she lounged on the couch watching Wesley make a tower of furniture with her kitchen table and chairs. "Hehehe." She giggled and spooned up some more ice cream.
So far he had managed to stack all four chairs on top of one another on top of the table and was now trying to get the 2 lamps to stay correctly.
"So how did your little excursion go?"
"Just fine, just fine. Ran into mom and dad. Not literally, but they were in there. Data almost blew my cover."
"Haha. Good old Data. WHOA!" CRASH.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" Amanda laughed. Wesley, while trying to get the lamps to stay had forgotten he had his leg wrapped around the chair leg to brace himself and when he moved to jump down, took the whole thing down with him. He was currently stuck under the chairs and the table was lying across his thighs.
"GOD that hurt." he said and climbed out from under the wreckage.
Amanda, trying to keep her laughter under control, had spit ice cream across the coffee table. Putting her carton down, she stared at Wesley and said, "Well that's one way to bring the house down." And cracked up laughing again.
"I'm going to sickbay."
"HAHAHAYOU DO THATHAHAHAH!!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day was the dreaded Calculus final. But considering she got to look at her sexy math teacher, Mr. Camplese, one last time, it was all good.
Upon entering class the students found the final waiting on there desks. Amanda sat down in her usual chair in the back and took out her calculator and pencil. The test was pretty simple so far, but near the middle she came across a question she thought she could answer. It said, what is 180 in radians. She raised her hand.
"Yes Amanda?" he said, rather bored, moving a chess piece around the board in front of him.
"I was wondering, on question 30, where it's talking about Radians, can we use our calculators?" Around her students murmured in agreement.
"Well, of course, you can use the them throughout the test. Ooohhhh but your calculators are in DEGREEEEES."
A round of sighs and curses filled the room and then went silent again. "Crap, I'll just skip it for now." And she continued on with the test. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An hour later she was headed for Data's laboratory. It seemed that Geordi, Wesley, and Data had figured out a way to send them home, and Amanda was most eager to go.
Halfway there she ran into her parents and they journeyed the rest of the way together. "So how was the Calculus test?" asked her mother. "It wasn't that bad, though you could have refrained from putting me in classes till we were sure I couldn't be sent home. But whatever."
"Well, we just figured it would keep your mind off of it for awhile." Said Picard. She felt like she had a guard, Picard was on her right and Beverly on her left.
"Yeah."
They reached the lab in silence and Amanda entered first, hearing the swish of the doors as she passed. "So what's up boys?"
"Well we have successfully recreated the events that took place the day you time traveled. You appeared in this lab so this is where we will send you back." said Geordi, moving his hands around to signify he that he meant this room.
"We have also recreated your experiment and with a little help from Wesley we will be able to send you back. But we'll have to do it one by one. Which one of you wants to go first?" Geordi asked and turned on the machine.
"I guess I will, mom will be even more upset if Data appears and I don't. No offense Data."
"None taken. I completely agree with your decision."
"Step onto the plat form and we'll get started." Said Geordi as he played around with more buttons.
"I guess this is goodbye then." She said to Beverly and Picard. "If you ever have a daughter," At this they both looked at each other then turned back, "and she accidentally sets fire to the living room rug, go easy on her?"
Chuckling, Beverly pulled her into a hug and released her. "I'll try."
Amanda stepped over to Picard. "Sir." She said and saluted.
"At ease." He said and put his hand out.
Taking it Amanda shook it lightly then hugged him tightly, still holding his hand. As she walked to the platform she slowly released his hand and looked back once more, tears in her eyes. 'Their not really mine, their not really mine.' she repeated to herself in her head. Riker and Troi came in and she rushed over to hug them goodbye.
Once on the platform Geordi manipulated some keys on his consul and then everything went black. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What are you doing?"
"Reading her chart."
"Put that down!"
"I'll put it down when I'm ready."
"She is awakening."
"She's coming to!"
"Amanda?"
Opening her eyes slowly, the faces of Geordi, Data and Wesley swam into view. "Oh god. Cowardly Lion...Scarecrow...Toto!"
"Question."
"Not now Data!" Said Dr. Crusher as she rushed over. "Hey there. How do you feel?"
"Like my head has been ripped off, my brains scrambled and my head stapled back on in the opposite direction."
Beverly ran her tricorder over her daughter and smiled. "You're going to be fine. Just a mild concussion."
"Where's dad?"
Beverly looked stricken, then regained her normal composure. "He's..."
"Right here, sorry I was in an important meeting, how's my girl?" Behind the captain was Riker and Troi, each of them beaming.
"She's going to be fine, just a slight concussion. I guess you'll have to miss your game today sweetie." She said, stroking Amanda's hair.
"WHAT?!?!?! WHAT GAME? I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A GAME!" pushing her mothers' hand away she jumped off the bed and started to sway. "Whoa, NOT a good move on my part." She grabbed her head and waited for the room to stop spinning and then started to head towards the doors.
"Where do you think your going?" Said her mother, blocking her path. "I did not give you permission to leave sickbay!"
"I'm....going...for a walk! Yeah...in the...arboretum. To clear my head." Still clutching her head she tried to walk past her mother but to no avail, her father was now blocking her path.
"I'm sorry Amanda", he said "but orders are orders." With a flick of his wrist he motioned Riker over who unceremoniously picked her up and carried her to her quarters, Deanna in tow.
"Well what's everyone doddling for? Get back to your stations."
"Yes sir." they said and left sickbay, the Captain and CMO following in Riker's wake. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dropped onto her bed by Riker and tucked in by Deanna, Amanda soon fell back to sleep, dreaming of yellow brick roads and a color changing horse. "Why that's a horse of a different color!" said the shrill voice in her head. "Just click your heels together 3 times..."
